Ah yes, accusing people of being shills and bots, and "indoctrinated", the core principles of good faith arguments.
> Label them as irredeemable liars so you can do as you please.
Do you not see the irony?
- latexr 5mo agoYou’re right. I should’ve done better and apologise. I have lightly edited the post above to keep the core point while removing the swipes. I disagree with the irony point on the basis that none of us here (I assume) is a despot or in a position of power high enough to lie to the point of discrediting entire institutions to the masses. We can be victims of it, but not perpetrators. Also, nowhere have I accused anyone in particular of being a liar. Still, given that my ill chosen words will have no doubt clouded your understanding of the point—which is on me—I won’t hold that against you, I take responsibility.
